Introduction
Picture Style Editor (hereinafter, “PSE”) is software that allows you to edit
Picture Style to your unique image characteristics and save the edited
results as original Picture Style files.
What is a Picture Style file?
A Picture Style file (extension “.PF2” or “.PF3”) is an extended
function of a Picture Style. It differs from the seven preset Picture
Styles (Auto, Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful and
Monochrome) and provides image characteristics that are effective
in a very limited number of scenes.
You can further expand your photographic expression by using a
Picture Style file effective for a specific scene.
